Stop pretending you’re dumb in class

Stop pretending you don’t understand things in class.

We’re currently working on graphs, focusing on inequalities (like less than, greater than, and equal to). Recently, a classmate remarked that he couldn’t tell the difference between shading above or below a line. He claimed that shading above still left him confused about where he started. I realize this is a bit difficult to explain without examples, but let’s be real—everyone knows this is just an act to be humorous, and it’s honestly quite frustrating. If we were tackling something truly complex, I’d understand, but when it’s something straightforward like this, it’s just not funny.

  1. I totally get where you’re coming from! It can be really frustrating when people act like they don’t understand something that seems pretty straightforward. It’s one thing if someone genuinely struggles with a concept, but if it feels like they’re just trying to draw attention or be funny, it can definitely disrupt the flow of the class. It might help to gently call them out next time or suggest we all focus on the material since the teacher is trying to help everyone learn. It’s important to foster an environment where everyone feels comfortable asking questions, but it should be sincere.
